Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey, who suffered a neck injury in last Sunday’s 20-17 loss to the New York Giants, sat out Wednesday’s practice as the team began preparing for Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Dolphins center Mike Pouncey sat out Wednesday's practice because of his neck injury.

Pouncey, a former Florida Gator standout the Dolphins selected with the 15th pick in the 2011 NFL draft, has started every game for the Dolphins this season.

It’s possible that streak will continue because sources say Pouncey received a positive MRI exam on Tuesday. But it appears the Dolphins kept him out of practice on a precautionary basis.

Pouncey did work with the trainers on the side, running wind sprints and doing agility work. Ryan Cook, who played his first game as a Dolphin last week,filled in as the starting center.

But that wasn’t the only change made to the Dolphins starting offensive line.

Starting right tackle Marc Colombo, who has been nursing a sore right knee, also sat out practice. Colombo also sat out last Wednesday’s practice and played against the Giants. Expect the same this week.

During the period of practice the media watched John Jerry worked as the starter who replace Colombo.

Here’s what else happened during Wednesday’s late afternoon practice…..

Dolphins starting left guard Richie Incognito, who missed Sunday’s game because of a knee injury, returned to practice. Not sure if he was limited. Nate Garner started in Incognito’s place against the Giants. It was quite difficult to keep up with Garner on Wednesday because he was a busy man….

Dolphins tailback Daniel Thomas is practicing, but it’s not clear if he’s limited. Thomas sat out all of last week’s practices, and missed Sunday’s game (his third). Cross your fingers that Thomas’ hamstring injury will be healthy enough for him to play against Kansas City. His soreness has been a hot and cold situation every week….

Dolphins starting cornerback Vontae Davis, who missed Sunday’s game with a groin injury, practiced and worked with the starters. Not sure if it was on a limited basis….

Free safetyReshad Jones also practiced, and he was paired with Tyrone Culver because Yeremiah Bell and Jason Taylor sat out Wednesday’s practice…..

Worst thing happened during 1-on-1s. Brian Hartline apparently sprained his right ankle scoring a touchdowns on Nolan Carroll. Hartline limped back to the next drill, so let us not over react. But this isn’t a good thing considering the Dolphins only have three healthy receivers going into Sunday’s game. And that’s counting Hartline….

Dolphins receiver Clyde Gates, who is nursing a groin injury that kept him from playing against the Giants, practiced. But the rookie was walking with a noticeable limp during his one-on-one session.

Well god forbid we sign somebody from the PS or WW to back him up! Let him hop his routes on one foot…wouldn’t want a CLEVELAND castoff!

Yup! Just read it in this blog article. I’m glad. I want to see him play. I know everyone thinks he sucks, but we haven’t really seen him at T, and he’s played there before in college. I also thought he looked good at LT in the preseason game. I hope he does well, it’s good for the team if he does.

Hopefully Jerry actually gets some run with the starters during the game. I think he has great potential, but I also believe he needs a nutritionist to help him be successful in this career. He was probably more negatively impacted by the lockout than anyone else on this team.

Jahndoh – I’m all for signing a WR. We can’t purposely go into a game with only 3 healthy WRs. Its just funny because our pick ups are so freaking predictable… and boring. TJ Whoseyourmomma is over the hill and not very good, but he at least would have been an interesting pick up. Same with T.O. Its not like we have anything to lose. Instead we may go the safe route and get a 2nd round bust from the worst WR corps in the NFL.

Not a SINGLE nfl team sent a representative to TO’s workout. None. Zip. Zilch. Zero. Nada. Nichts.

TJ has been signed it happened last week. You can’t time travel, and tbh, I’d rather have any of the Raiders other WRs then him. Other then Palmer coming back that guy was never going to play in the NFL again.

Robiskie will (and this part take some patience to prove) be signed by some NFL team, and even if he cleared waivers (which would be a shock to both myself and Omar) he’ll still have merited more attention then either of the guys you just listed.

It’s all good though..I’m not pickin’ on ya convict, just makin’ conversation about a ww body to fill in because of an injury. It’s of little to no consequence in the big scheme of things, so why not take a shot on the only one of those players that might actually help you for more then a couple games (even if it’s a longshot, it’s better then no shot!)?

Man… following this team is a miserable hobby. We are celebrating John freaking Jerry getting to practice a bit at RT. We all know that come Sunday Colonblow will be back out there using the photos he has of TS engaging in dirty acts with Pat McQuistan as leverage.

John freaking Jerry. He SUCKS! Yet we are happy he is getting to practice with the starters.

Said Jeffery take it slow
It’ll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said Tony make it slow
And we’ll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
(inhale) Patience…
Ooh, oh, yeah

“McGahee returned to practice Wednesday, just eight days after he underwent surgery that inserted a plate and five pins to repair his broken right hand. The Denver Post reported he had the hand wrapped and carried the ball with his left hand”

If there was ever a warrior it is this guy.

Has overcome one of the worst knee injuries any of us have ever seen occur on a football field to working his way back into being a 1st round pick within only 4 months of rehab work.

Alright man! We’ll take what we can get! That’s good news! Glad you’ll be there for the game. I’m thinking we’re gonna eke out a win against KC, and against Beck or Grossman, we have to at least be in the game with a chance to win.

KC, Denver and Washington are all teams we traditionally own and should ordinarily be easy wins for us but this entire mess is out of control.
I still can’t settle on who I’d like to come here and right the ship but I would like to see Mike Shula involved as part of our O. Maybe Linehan as coach, M Shula as OC. Who the hell knows anymore this so depressing, I hate this season.

LOL..I would think that Matt Cassell, given a leisurely amount of time to make a decision, and several open receivers to choose from, will be fairly successful…a formidable counter to the imposing presence of John Jerry on the Dolphins offense …lol
